Should I remove my texture implants?

Asked By:Beautyispain123 in Houston, TX

I have texture implants for 10 years. Should I remove them since they are being recalled due to risk of cancer? I don’t have any symptoms. But I’m considering the risk of having them exchanged to smooth wall implants or just keeping them for few more years. How long do breast implants usually last? Which implants have low risk of capsular contraction? Currently i have 435cc, can I downsize my implants to 300?
